Duan Rong's mouth twitched, and he pried open Jiu'er's hands, "Both mother and father. What's going on..."
He gritted his teeth and said, "How can a person be both your father and your mother in your eyes?"
Similar things and situations as the attack just now also happened to Baili Feiyue and Changsun Wuji. Even Duan Rong’s words and protective posture were similar.
Even if Baili Feiyue was here, she would probably be dazed for a moment.
Jiuer was already smiling when he pried her hands apart and she raised her head.
"Who told you to always lecture me without any reason..."
She twisted her eyes and pulled his sleeve, "Duan Rong, are you paying attention to me?"
Duan Rong looked down at Jiuer, whose eyes were curved with a hint of excitement, licked his thin lips, and gave her a sinister smile.
He turned around and left proudly.
Because of his movements, his waist-length black hair flew in the wind, and the hair spread freely on his back like black brocade.
Dressed in red and with black hair, she exudes an indescribable charm and an ineffable unrestrained elegance.
Jiuer chased after him, but just couldn't catch up.
It was as if Duan Rong had eyes on the back of his head, always keeping a distance of five steps away from her.
Jiuer was not convinced in her heart. It was just that he was good at martial arts. What was so great about that?
She calculated the distance accurately and pounced on him suddenly.
"I caught you!" Jiuer proudly grasped a strand of the man's long hair.
Duan Rong felt pain on his scalp and teeth almost at the same time. He felt helpless and angry and said with his teeth itching, "Little rascal, are you trying to pull out my hair?"
Jiuer just smiled at him and said nothing.
"Why are you grinning like an idiot?" Duan Rong stretched out his arm to her, looking unhappy, "Let's go home."
Jiuer smiled and took his arm.
She called out "Father" in a trance, not because Duan Rong liked to teach her a lesson or control her. In fact, her father would not teach her a lesson without any reason from time to time.
It's Duan Rong's internal skills...
She had only seen three people use the strong and brutal internal martial arts that Duan Rong used in the critical moment just now.
The father, and the eldest grandson who was instructed by the father, and the eldest grandson and...
Jiuer glanced at Duan Rong sideways, and her eyes curved again.
The kung fu that my father has mastered is not something that everyone can create or figure out on their own, nor is it something that can be learned anywhere else.
So, how come Duan Rong can do it too?
He has learned so much. Even if he is a martial arts genius, it would take several years for him to reach such a profound level...
Inexplicably, Jiuer felt much better. She smiled and asked, "Which home are you going back to?"
Duan Rong glanced at her sideways, "Which one do you want to go back to?"
"The General's Mansion. I'm going to give General Duan an acupuncture treatment tomorrow."
Just like that, Jiuer, who had not originally planned to look for Duan Rong, followed Duan Rong back to the general's mansion.
She didn't ask Duan Rong where he learned this unique internal skill.
The corners of her mouth were curved along the way, as if she was both expecting and excited to explore and discover the sweet little secrets bit by bit.
She even briefly forgot about Su Jingxing, and the inexplicable depression and coldness she had felt before completely dissipated.
She was extremely sleepy when she returned to the general's mansion. After washing up, she didn't even have a dream. She slept soundly all night in the absolutely safe environment of the general's mansion.
But this night is destined to be a sleepless night for too many people.
The only two survivors who assassinated Jiuer, a pair of weird old masters, went to a secret house in Kyoto with cold sweats.
Facing their employer behind the screen, the two men felt quite guilty.
The man behind the screen obviously changed his voice deliberately. He sneered, "So, you offered me such a high price of 30,000 taels of gold, and promised to take Duan Ajiu's head without making any noise, and now you are running back with your tail between your legs?"
The old man was ashamed and dared not speak.
Although the old woman knew that the man in front of her was not to be trifled with, she was still angry in her heart, "It should have been easy to capture him, but Duan Rong is not at all what you said, and he is not at the level that your people have tested!"
"If we had known that Duan Rong's skills were so terrifying, we would not have accepted the order even if the gold was doubled!"
The shadow behind the screen snorted again, "No matter what, it's all because of your incompetence."
The old woman was even more annoyed. "If you can find a killer more powerful than the two of us, you can always ask for help."
The weird old man next to her winked at the old woman, asking her to control her temper.
I said to the shadow behind the screen, "We will return the 10,000 taels of silver we received as a deposit. We really can't do this order. Duan Rong is indeed a man of hidden talents. My old woman and I are not as skilled as him, and we can't take the girl's life under his protection."
The person behind the screen sneered, "Are you afraid that your skills are not as good as his, or are you afraid of the words he asked you to say?"
The faces of the two strange old men changed.
Killers of their level come into contact with people of different levels, so naturally they are not ignorant.
They were indeed more afraid of the subtext of what Duan Rongrang said.
Although the "employer" in front of them did not reveal his true face, they both knew clearly in their hearts that such a wealthy family must be related to the Tian family.
All under heaven belongs to the king.
Although they are among the most famous killers in the world, they are also very aware of the situation and know that they cannot afford to offend those who are related to the Heavenly Family.
The person behind the screen said quietly, "It seems that you have indeed heard the rumor. In our Cangyu Kingdom, there is not only the Ming Emperor, but also the rumor of the 'Dark Emperor'. You even think that Duan Rong is the Dark Emperor."
This was tantamount to exposing his own identity. When the two strange old men heard it, they immediately said, "We know nothing and have never heard of it!"
"Yes, we have our own rules in this industry. We take the job for the money and don't ask anything else..."
"Haha, what are you afraid of? I won't attack two people like you." He said with determination, "The 10,000 taels of gold deposit is still yours. You continue to work for me. If you succeed, the remaining 20,000 taels of gold will be yours."
The purpose of licking blood from the knife is to make money. The two old women were tempted, but the old woman was more cautious.
She licked her dry black lips, "That girl, we two can't kill her with our abilities."
The person behind the screen sneered, "I'm not asking you to kill her directly. I'm asking you to do something else."
The old woman and the other looked at each other and said, "You said..."
"It's still a girl. But this time I'm not asking you to kill her. I'm asking you to find her. A girl who is so unique that she can be called a goddess."
The old woman and her husband thought this was more difficult than killing Duan Ajiu. What the hell was this?
A unique, goddess-like girl?
"Do you have any specific clues or images?"
"none."
none? ? ! ! !
Is he serious!
"What do you think, take it or not?"
The old woman and the other woman thought for a moment. Since the other party said so, there must be such a girl. Although it is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, they would rather choose this one.
"Okay, we'll take it."
After the two men went down, after a while, the person behind the screen walked out.
Under the dim light and shadow, it was the tall and handsome face of the eldest prince!
At this time, the secret door inside opened and the eldest princess's trusted nanny came out.
The eldest prince looked at the nanny and said, "Madame Xu, go back and tell the eldest princess that this time, if we don't succeed, we will die. There is no turning back."
Madam Xu nodded and said, "I will report everything today to Her Royal Highness the Princess. But..."
She was a little hesitant, "Your Highness, is the information you received reliable? I am afraid that I have made wedding clothes for others."
The eldest prince's eyes were dark. "The Queen and the Second Prince have been making frequent moves. What happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion today has given me a bad feeling. Now that the eldest princess has been punished by my father, the court officials who were close to me are used to changing their stance according to the situation and have shown a tendency to lean towards the Second Prince. We can't wait any longer."
"Whether it's Su Jingxing, Chu Qing from Yidu Bookstore, or Duan Rong who has been fooling us for so many years right under our noses, no matter who is the Dark Emperor, it will take a long time to win them over. But their common points are too obvious."
"I was wrong before. Instead of pulling them over, it would be better to let them and my good father kill each other. I still have a glimmer of hope that I can benefit from it."
After all, the nanny is older and more cautious.
"If it goes well, that would be great. I was wondering how the news that His Majesty wanted to kill Miss Duan Jiu could reach your ears so easily. I'm afraid it was a trap set by other princes."
"No matter if it's a trap or not, Duan Ajiu must die. If assassination is not possible, we will kill her openly! She will have to die! When the time comes, my good father will have to bear the blame for forcing Duan Ajiu to death through 'open killing'!"
